1 teaspoon baking powder
¹⁄₄ teaspoon salt
1 egg, well beaten

18 medium oysters, drained
1 cup white cornmeal
2 cups lard or 2 cups solid shortening

directions

Sift flour, baking powder and salt in a medium mixing bowl.
Beat together egg and milk; add to flour mixture and mix well.
Batter should be stiff, but if it is too stiff to coat the oysters, add additional milk.
Beat until smooth.
Put oysters in batter and stir to coat oysters well.
Scoop up three oysters at a time and form them by hand into a croquette.
Quickly roll croquette in cornmeal, covering it completely.
Repeat with remaining oysters.
After all croquettes have been formed, dip each again in batter and dust again with cornmeal.
At this point, oysters can be refrigerated until time to fry them.
Heat lard to 375°F in a deep fryer.
Put 3 rolled oysters at a time in basket and lower into hot fat.
The rolled oysters should cook on all sides; it may be necessary to turn them with a pancake turner.
Cook through, about 3 to 4 minutes total cooking time.
Drain on paper towels.

Even though I am still young (25) Life experince has aged me alot. I learned to cook at both of my grandmother's knees (One southern American, one southern Irish) when I was about five. By ten I started collecting cookbooks and experinmenting on my own. As a latch key kid I cooked for my four younger brothers and sisters. My mom ran a small deli before she died when I was 17 so alot of my recies debuted there. Now I run my own catering Buisness. I am married to a wnderful man for five years now. I am a six year old daughter, sons who are four and three. We are also raising my 14 year old sister and nine Year old stepsister and have a 16 year old foster daughter, all of which love cooking with me. I am writing a cookbook with the hopes that when I pass I can leave my recipes for them My cookbook collection has now reached over 1200. Thank you for trying and reviewing my recipes.. <img src="http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j166/ZaarNicksMom/PACsticker-Adopted.jpg">
